Mannitol is a six-carbon sugar alcohol that occurs naturally in plants, fungi, and algae, and serves diverse roles in biological systems and clinical applications. Research published in this journal addresses mannitol across multiple domains, reflecting its broad utility in medicine, biotechnology, and agriculture. Studies have examined its clinical use in transplant surgery, where intraoperative administration may influence outcomes such as delayed graft function in kidney transplantation, and in reproductive medicine as part of strategies to prevent ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. The journal has also explored mannitol's natural production by algae, highlighting its significance in industrial and biotechnological applications where algal systems offer sustainable manufacturing pathways. Additional research has investigated mannitol as a carbon source in microbial growth studies, including its role in supporting fungal pathogens, and its presence in probiotic bacteria used in fermented foods. The compound's osmotic properties and metabolic functions make it relevant to understanding plant stress responses under drought and salt conditions. This breadth of coverage underscores mannitol's importance as both a naturally occurring metabolite and a clinically valuable agent with applications spanning tissue engineering, agriculture, and therapeutic interventions.
